15 Bean Soup

This recipe could also be known as the “I-needed-a-way-to-use-up-my-Easter-ham” Soup. As good as our Easter meal turned out, I didn’t think I could do another meal of reheating the ham or ham sandwiches and I know that the kids were getting sick of ham too. I didn’t want to waste it so needed to get creative on how to use up what was left. And, thanks to a tip from my mother-in-law about using the ham bone for a soup, came across this recipe.

Food for Thought: Soups are easy for freezer cooking. For this one, I would just cook it through and then after it cools, put it in a freezer bag. Double bag it before freezing. To serve, simply thaw and reheat.
